"Let me express my sincere gratitude to GD for this program. This means a lot to me. My life has been full of struggles. My husband run away in 2017 and that was the end of my marriage. I am struggling to support my family. I plan to renovate my house when I receive my transfer. The food that I have in storage is not enough because we didn't use fertilizer. I plan to buy some bags of fertilizer in readiness of the next growing season and some bags of maize so that I can supplement on the little I have."

"I am grateful that I will be receiving money from Givedirectly. This has brought joy to my life. With the money, I will be able to build a bigger house and I will buy some buy of cement so that my house can have a concrete floor. I will also buy kitchen utensils, furniture and some bags of fertilizer in readiness of the next growing season."

"I am relying on subsistence farming and casual jobs to provide food for the family, this has created a lot of challenge to me since maize is no longer doing well in our region, at times we run short of food. Buying this food is expensive and costly to us and we don't have enough money and income."

"I am truly greatful I got this donation because my husband took ill so many years ago which left him immobile and hence I provide for this family and lately it has been getting harder"

"My home is made up of a small grass thatched hut and a two roomed house made of iron sheets. The grass thatched hut has become very expensive to keep in good shape. Regular repairs requires me to find good thathching grass. This material is not easily available. On top of buying it, the cost of transport is quite high. Being that I rely on subsistence farming, I don't get enough money for all these repairs. But on receiving this money, I will spent about 500 USD to complete it. I will also buy a water tank so that I collect rain water for use in the household."
